Fun please 6 to meet friends, get a drink, have some food. Enough variety that everyone should be good from vegans through meat eaters. Has heat lamps for outside seating. Love music weekend nights.

Owner is a short angry man with very little control of the area. Oh plus they leave the “private bathrooms” with a door code so homeless people can’t come in…. But they leave the DOORS WIDE OPEN so HOMELESS people can shower and smoke crack in the sink. #

Lots of great restaurants in one place , also a great beer/wine spot and mixed drinks. Awesome bands and brunch on the weekends.
I love Abbott Square. It is such a great place to go to with friends, family, or significant others. Lots of outdoor seating with heaters. Some indoor seating, but it gets very crowded. This is a fair place to go to if you have dietary restrictions. Some cheaper options and more vegetarian options would be nice to see.

Fantastic place and fantastic atmosphere. There is food for everyone. I’m vegetarian and can eat at some of the places here. One of my friends is allergic to nuts, dairy, soy, and legumes and is also able to eat here. Definitely worth going. They also have drinks that might be a little expensive but are so tasty. This place is also near downtown Santa Cruz which is a nice place to walk after your full from all the food!

Lots of great vegetarian options. Good parking options as well. Bathrooms are sketch sometimes. Knocking 2 stars for the homeless ppl often showering in the sinks. Need more security to monitor the bathrooms, def do not feel comfy esp w kids in there. A lot of very large men ‘bathing in the sinks in the woman’s bathrooms, not cool. This has happiness enough so that we either do take out or skip this place all together now. This has happened often enough now to the point where we expect it. They def need to address this issue.
Lots of options with an outdoor seating area. Definitely a local favorite.

Very fun and variety rich market square. Quality music can be heard Fridays much of the year. There is a beer Garten seving craft brews from many local high quality breweries, Bar, Hamburger Joint and desert Cafe amongst other food places. You can come and go as you please too. Abbott Square has a quite intimate feel for an outside venue with ample table seating and standing room, pleasant lighting and a very artsy feel. Dogs seem welcome too. Parking is surprisingly good for downtown Santa Cruz. I am a musician who has played there and they provide a professional sound system run by a competent sound person that keeps things under control, not too loud and well balanced. Much dancing occurs at most shows. I recommend checking it out. Thanks

Out and about on a warm Wednesday evening enjoy the summer weather, my husband and I came across Abbott Square Market. We decided to grab a seat at the counter/bar top at Front & Cooper to enjoy a beer. Very relaxing ambiance and great service, the bartender Danny was welcoming and friendly. I am not sure how long it has been there but definitely a great addition to downtown Santa Cruz, we will definitely stop by again soon.

Chill spot with great food and drink choices. Something for everyone, you can't go wrong! But I gotta say the arepas are outstanding and the pizza looks legit too but I didn't try it.

Excellent variety of food choices, drinks available and live music.
